SATA SDD performance

[testcy]

What do you think of the following results? Could I expect anything better from a different drive?

Unless you want to go nvme gen 3 or gen 4 not really since thats pushing the limitations of SATA 

If your happy with your loading times currently I don't see any reason to upgrade since sata ssds aren't blazing fast but not terrible either

For 120GB(?) SATA SSD it's fine. 
 

Write speeds usually increase with capacity.

Well it would help if we knew what this drive was to give us something to compare against.

Aren't my write results a little slow?

Your SSD is about half the capacity of theirs. The smaller the SSD the lower the write speeds.

Its not that bad actually, especially since thats a ancient ssd and only 128GB. Youre about on target. https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/5128/samsung_840_pro_128gb_ssd_review/index.html

Due to 128GB instead of 256GB capacity.

Many models (write speed) is lower on their 64-128GB models.
Not that it really matters much, typical uses like installing programs and writing data is still going to be plenty acceptable and you probably wouldn't even notice anyway due to small tiny files being written never reach MAX speed in their operations anyway, each file is already transferred 100% before it even hits it's speed rating.
Lots of tiny files being transferred are typically slower than larger file transfers.
